Should have looked at my film collection before I came to wor....wait a sec....think I once e-mailed a list to someone....let's see.......ah yes:

Big Trouble in Little China (love it)

City of Lost Children (Oh God! It's so french)

Hard Target (It's John Woo, sure....but it's also Van Damme)

Daylight (Let's get trapped with Stallone together)

Total Recall (Can anyone remember....something.....movie)

The Quick and the Dead (Sam Raimi cut Bruce's scenes. For that...there must be...retribution) *Also it's got a whole mess o' people who made bad movies separately...in a movie together. Sharon Stone...DiCaprio...Crowe...What's his name...and that guy...

Jurassic Park (I REALLY think this one will be done so it's kind of a gimmie)The Covenant (new and craptacular!)Red Dawn (this one is SCREAMING for it!)Alone in the Dark (this one almost riffs itself...Mike could phone it in, possibly the perfect film to riff on)Predator (featuring many a now-politician)Van Helsing (nuff said)Face/Off (comedy goldmine just waiting to be mined)Volcano (Wooden Tommy Lee Jones and lesbo-era Heche vs a river of lava!)The Fog (remake...perfect movie for riffing!)Frogs (totally obscure...too obscure to really do but wowsa does this one ever sing! Ray Milland and incomprehensible rednecks vs woodland critters. Do yourself a favor and check this one out sometime. They show it fairly often on Showtime/Cinemax for some reason .)

I think this was one of the first topics ever to appear on the forum. With all the new people around, I think its a good idea to list your top "wants". The criteria I use in my choices are not what films "deserve it", but rather if I think they'd make funny Rifftrax. My 10 (in no particular order):

So, before I give my list, I wanted to talk about the underpinnings of my various choices.For me, the space in these films where comedy fits are the yawning chasm between a film's desire (in some cases, even demand) to be taken seriously, and its ability to be taken seriously.Sometimes, a film desire for seriousness is compromised by dated ideas or trappings, sometimes by sheer ineptitude. Most of my selections possess some variation on this idea. I just thought I'd lay it out up front, instead of having to explain thoroughly in each selection.

These are in no particular order:

Batman (1989) or Batman Returns -- I know there's a huge push to Riff Batman and Robin, but while there are a LOT of things about that TERRIBLE film to make fun of, the fact is that B & R is basically a comedy. Tim Burton's first two Batman movies, on the other hand, are, despite Burton's trademark "ghouls' funhouse" atmosphere, clearly meant to be taken seriously. This, combined with how the films have aged (despite my love for these first two Batman films, the passing years have given me ability to see the flaws with something of an objective eye), plus Burton's complete inability to laugh at himself, makes either of these movies ripe for the Riffing.

Billy Jack -- SUPER-serious, and impossibly funny. From incomprehensible improv street theatre, to a supposedly naked woman's visible top (thanks to the film's "open-matte" transfer; it's never been issued in widescreen), to its vague "back to nature" philosophical musings, Billy Jack is a comedy treasure.

Soylent Green/The Omega Man/Planet of the Apes -- ANY post-apocalyptic film starring Mister Charlton Heston will fill the bill.

Zardoz -- No, I haven't dropped it. It wants to be one of those "thoughtful" 70's post-apocalyptic "cautionary tales;" and, goddammit, it wants it like nobody's business, in spite of the complete lack of any concrete idea just what it is it's warning us about.

Godzilla Vs. Hedorah (a.k.a., Godzilla Vs. The Smog Monster) -- Thanks to MST3K, we've had all the Gamera we can possibly keep down. It's time to go back to the granddaddy of all rubber-suit monsters, which hasn't been done since MST3K's second season. This film's environmental "message" makes it a perfect candidate.

The Passion of the Christ -- The ULTIMATE in preaching to the choir. This one could be priced at $4.49, with $.50 of each purchase being donated to The Anti-Defamation League.

Carrie -- Still a great, terrifying film... and Riffable as HELL.

Akira -- If only to hear Mike, Kevin and Bill's multiple interpretations as to what the HELL the ending of this movie actually means.

Eragon -- I've never seen this movie, but two kinds of people have: those who found the books juvenile and derivative, and found the movie to be more of the same; and those who enjoyed the books, and managed to still hate the movie for its combination of arch seriousness and appalling incompetence.

"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere.Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."

Okay, I spent a few moments tyring to come up with a top 10 list that didn't have all or most of the same titles listed as the rest of you. They're great lists all of them, especially qbeenie and others who really took the time to describe why they hated some of these movies in such vivid detail. Having said that....

9.)Sheena: Queen of the Jungle: Horses crosss-dressing as zebras. they did a better job with the 'Horse of another color' in Wizard of OZ...

8.)Inspector(s) Gadget: Even though I love Matthew Broderick, I really had a hard time with both of these, especially number 2. Sorry guys, but I've seen Matthew Broderick, I admire Matthew Broderick, but French Stewart is no Matthew Broderick...

7.)Lost in Space(1998): "Danger Will Robinson, my a**"...

6.)Walking Tall(2004): At times, when he wasn't speaking, I had a hard time telling which one was 'The Rock', and which one was 'The 'Big Stick'...

5.)Phantom: Ahhh Yes, Billy Zane talks to the animals. This was 'Dr. Doolittle' on crack, basically. One of my favorite scenes was where Phantom (Zane) gets in a jam and tells Devil (the wolf) to go get Hero (the horse), which he does. They actually spent time showing the two 'conversing', I almost expected to see subtitles.... (Hero:"Whats' that Devil? Walker is trapped by the villain, Again?")

3.)Ultraviolet/Aeon Flux: See also #4... UV looks like Tron and Aeon Flux had a love child...

2.)Mousehunt: This is actually one that I actually liked, and would love to see riffed. True, Nathan Lane can be a bit shrill and over-the-top, but that's just part of his charm...

1.) Detonator(s) 1 and 2/The Lawnmower Man: ...And it's a three-way tie triple feature featuring Pierce Brosnan... Don't get me wrong, I loved this guy as Bond and Remington Steele. (not to mention the character he played in 'Dante's Inferno') But The 'Detonator' movies were basically 'Masterminds' with Pierce haplessly pitted against the villain instead of Vincent Kartheiser .(the kid who played opposite Patrick Stewart) ...And The Lawn mower Man was , ....well the Lawnmower Man...

Okay so technically, that's what, 14 movies? But like I said some of them are pretty interchangeable....

i say conspriacy theory: You got both A list and B list actors, in a goofy oddball plot. The movie is moderatly enjoyable, but with the worst performance i have ever seen out mr jean luc picard. Did i mention he is wearing a nose bandage most of the movie
